SAMANTHA MARTIN & DELTA SUGAR
Samantha Martin is an artist of extraordinary power and deep-seated emotion.
While Martin is a powerhouse unto herself, Delta Sugar is not the work of a single talent. In combination with her “co-vocalists”, Sherie Marshall and Stacy Tabb, (as opposed to backup vocalists), this outstanding creation of music draws on black gospel and southern soul with a hint of roots country. The vocal blend Samantha and Delta Sugar produces is pure, unadulterated magic where the sum is even richer than the already soul-melting parts.
